The OnePlus 13 may well be that phone, and I’m seriously considering replacing my iPhone with it.
OnePlus' new 13 isn’t a secret.
What might surprise you, though, is the quality of this phone.

Remember those unusual tests I mentioned?
It works just fine.
Even when it was scorching hot.
That’s because the OnePlus 13 has both an IP68 and IP69 rating.
IP68 is for water resistance.
IP69 is for water jet and high-temperature water resistance.
The phone is sealed against leaks.
It helps to keep the phone operational, even when it’s heated up.
Beating up on this phone didn’t stop with trying to waterlog it, though.
The phone still looks brand new.
The self-healing screen is scratch and fingerprint-resistant.
The leather-like (it’s actually Microfiber Vegan Leather) back cover doesn’t scratch and doesn’t stain.
I abused this phone.
Short of taking a hammer to it, Itriedto damage it.
And it withstood everything I put it through, even without a case.
So Much More

Is the OnePlus 13 Phone Worth It?

That by itself has convinced me to replace my iPhone with the OnePlus 13.
All the other features are just icing on the cake.
